Diyue Prompt - From Lu to Chya and Vice Versa

Chapter 4

"What the—"

He was dumbfounded. As soon as he arrived at the backyard that morning, he was dumbfounded, stunned, petrified, whatever you named it.

He. Wang Yu Zheng. A man who accidentally gave his 'seeds' to a stranger. A stranger woman named Hu Lian Xin whom he saw in his backyard at that time.

Playing basketball.

Playing.

Basketball.

A PREGNANT WOMAN WHOM HE SAW PLAYING BASKETBALL WITH HER BEST FRIEND, WANG HE DI, AT HIS BACKYARD.

Jumping, running, laughing as she tried to snatch the ball from Wang He Di from behind and when she finally snatched the ball from him, she then ran and did a high jump to shoot the ball,

and...

Wang Yu Zheng screamed.

"HU LIAN XIN!!!"

She was startled and flinched. So she missed her shoot.

She pouted as she saw her best friend smirked and gave her his annoying smile.

"I win." He gleefully said.

"SH—"

"No cursing!" He suddenly cut her off before she finished her word, and she immediately closed her mouth. "A pregnant woman shouldn't curse, you know." He talked again, annoying her more.

She narrowed her eyes towards him cynically and bit her lips to hold whatever words she wanted to say, then she suddenly remembered the event before she failed to shoot the ball, so she turned around and she gasped as she almost bumped onto Yu Zheng's chest. She didn't realize that he had already stood up behind her and towering her with his height, almost intimidating. Looking up, she was ready to give him her complaint, but when she saw his deadpan face, she immediately held back her words.

And wait.

He took some deep breath before talking. "What are you thinking?" He asked incredulously. "A pregnant woman, playing basketball, don't you know that it's dangerous?"

"I—"

"Don't you even realize that he might elbowed your belly, or you might be fallen onto the ground if you slipped as you played?"

Silence.

.

..

"And don't you even realized that you would jump and run a lot for this game? I just..." he paused and scratched his nape frustratedly, "I just don't get it. Why should you--"

"I want to play basketball. I just know that." She coldly answered. Listening to his nag, she just couldn't help to answer. Her eyes then aimed straight at his eyes, "And I don't know why. I just want to, so I asked him to play with me."

Wang Yu Zheng sighed.

This girl... really...

He then turned towards He Di and shook his head, "Wang He Di... you should know better than this."

He Di sighed before he shrugged his shoulders, "If only you know how long I tried to refuse her, but she didn't listen. She said that she suddenly wanted to play basketball, and she didn't want to play alone, so she forced me to play with her." He paused, and another sigh escaped from him, "And since she's pregnant, now you tell me, how to refuse a pregnant woman's request." He Di tilted his head to the left, as he waited for Yu Zheng's answer.

Yu Zheng sighed again.

"But still—"

Hu Lian Xin raised her hand to shush him, "I am being careful. You don't have to be worried. I know my limit. Jeez... how many times I should tell you that you shouldn't think about me and my baby that much. Is it so hard to understand that If you offered me some help, it would be my decision to accept it or not, and if you offered me a suggestion, it's also my own decision to do it or not. Anyway, thank you for your suggestion, but honestly, today I am not going to accept a suggestion." She said stubbornly, "and now, please excuse me. I want to play again. I've heard before that if I didn't follow the baby's request, the baby might drool a lot in the future." She then walked towards He Di and threw the ball to him and took her position, readying herself to play again.
